This afternoon Eugene LISTER departed for Omaha, from where he goes to the naval training station at Great Lakes, Ill., to take up his duties as a member of the fighting force of Uncle Sam. Last evening in honor of their friend, a very pleasant luncheon was given at the cosmopolitan club by the members, as a token of esteem for their associate and fellow member who is to take up his service for the country. A very enjoyable three-course luncheon was served during the evening, which had been prepared by Fred WAGNER in his usual able manner, and this feature of the evening was much enjoyed by the twenty-two present to take part in the festive occasion. The table was decorated in a color scheme of red, white and blue, with apple blossoms being used in the floral decorations. It was with the greatest of regret that the friends parted with Mr. Lister, but they wished him all the good luck possible in his new vocation as a member of the naval force of the nation.
